Definitions
- the present invention relates to printing variable data on a variety of different pre-printed stocks.
- Customized mailings and products for consumers can be manufactured by printing variable data on stock material, such as paper.
- stock material such as paper.
- Such print systems typically use a printer having a paper feed path from a media tray holding standardized stock material and an electronically stored data base of customer information.
- the customer information is printed on the stock material and delivered to the customers. This method is effective for standardized stock material that does not vary or depend on the customer information.
- Printers can employ sensors for improving the handling of paper in a paper feed path but these are not useful for identifying or managing stock types. While a printer can have several stock media trays to provide stock to the printer and can have information identifying the stock media (for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,647,222), the stock type information needs to be provided via user or operator input. Several problems may result due to user error in entering an incorrect media type and/or loading incorrect media in the paper drawer or tray.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,823,147 describes a method for detecting mismatches between printer resources and requirements.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,129,639 describes a method of finding the best match for a printer, the job printer requirements, and the printer's paper capabilities or stocks.
- these approaches do not necessarily provide what a customer desires.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,984,193 describes a scannable bar code pattern printed on a sheet of printer media or on a sheet attached to such media. The bar code is then read by a bar code scanner to identify the media and corresponding customer variable information can then be printed on the stock media.
- This method requires a process for back printing unique codes on the stock in either visible or invisible ink, increasing the cost of the stock. If the bar code is visible, it precludes the possibility of a product printed on both sides of the stock, reducing customer satisfaction with the product.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,726,357 describes identifying media by a heat signature. However, if the same media with customized text, for example, is employed, it is unlikely that the customized media can be distinguished by a thermal signature.
- a printing apparatus for printing customer data on variable pre-printed stock, comprising storage for the customer data, pre-printed stocks having a printed area and an open area on a common side of the pre-printed stock, a printer tray for holding two or more different pre-printed stocks, a scanner for scanning the printed area of the pre-printed stocks and for producing and storing tray stock information identifying the pre-printed stocks, storage for electronic customer orders.
- Each electronic customer order includes one or more of the customer data and selection data for one or more of the pre-printed stocks.
- a controller receives the tray stock information and the electronic customer orders for matching the tray stock information to the electronic customer orders to produce a match, and for producing print instructions for the match.
- a printer receives the print instructions and prints the customer data corresponding to the match onto pre-printed stock identified by the match.
- the customer data can include digital images, text, or both.
- the controller communicates an error message if there is no match between the selection of pre-printed stock and the tray stock information or if there is no pre-printed stock in the printer tray.
- the printer ink or toner is incompatible with the printed areas of the pre-printed stock because it does not adhere well to the printed areas if the areas are printed with a metal film.
- a method of printing customer data on pre-printed stock comprising the steps of loading different pre-printed stocks into a printer tray, with the pre-printed stocks having an open area and a printed area on one side of the pre-printed stocks.
- the pre-printed stocks are scanned using a scanner and stock tray information is produced and stored.
- a plurality of electronic orders is received in the printer and each order identifies one or more of the pre-printed stocks and includes customer data.
- the stock tray information is matched with two or more of the electronic orders to form two or more matches.
- Print instructions are produced for the two or more matches and the customer data is printed onto the pre-printed stocks identified by the matches.
- the present invention has the advantage that variable customer information can be printed on variable pre-printed stock without requiring operator intervention.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a printing apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a pre-printed stock useful with various embodiments of the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of an electronic order in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of a digital image with text useful with various embodiments of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of a portion of a printing apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a product made according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 8 is a flow diagram illustrating a more detailed method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a more detailed alternative method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 10 is a schematic illustration of a printing apparatus in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
- a printing apparatus 10 for variable pre-printed stock comprises storage for customer data 12 and pre-printed stocks 22 .
- each pre-printed stock 22 has a decorative printed area 15 and one or more open areas 16 on a common side of the pre-printed stock 22 .
- the printed areas are printed with a metal film such as a colored foil.
- the foil surface is incompatible with the printing inks and toners. They are incompatible to the extent that the media doesn't adhere well to the metal foil surface and can undergo smearing or peeling.
- a printer tray 20 holds the pre-printed stocks 22 .
- a scanner 30 scans the common side of the pre-printed stocks including the printed area 15 of each of the pre-printed stocks 22 and produces tray stock information 32 that identifies each of the pre-printed stocks 22 .
- Electronic customer orders 26 are stored in the printing apparatus 10 . Referring to FIG. 3 , each electronic customer order 26 includes one or more of the customer data 12 and selection data 14 for one or more of the pre-printed stocks 22 .
- the scanner 30 can be a linear scanner, for example that translates across a dimension of the stock to form an image of the stock, or an area scanner, for example using an array of pixel sensors to form an image of the stock. Area scanners can be faster while linear scanners can require less space. In either case, the image formed can have a resolution lower than necessary to reproduce an image of the stock.
- the scanned image produced by the scanner 30 need only have sufficient image quality (e.g. resolution, pixel bit depth, or color) to identify each of the pre-printed stocks 22 , for example, by comparing it with pre-stored digital images of known stock and obtaining a stock ID therefor.
- the customer orders can be generated electronically, for example though an on-line web page wherein a web user selects a product and transmits the order including customer data.
- the orders can include a selection of the product type (including a pre-printed stock), a customer digital image, and customer-selected text.
- the selection of a pre-printed stock 22 is typically made by reviewing images of the pre-printed stock on a web page and selecting the preferred pre-printed stock compatible with the product, for example choosing on the basis of color, theme, and included text.
- the selected pre-printed stock has an identifier supplied by the manufacturer (e.g. a text string of mixed numbers and letters) that is then included in the customer order and electronically submitted to the printing apparatus.
- the controller 28 receives electronic customer order 26 information from a computer network 50 , the internet, a local computer station, or a portable memory device coupled indirectly to the controller.
- the electronic customer order 26 information includes customer data 12 and a selection 14 of pre-printed stock.
- the customer data 12 includes variable data specific to the customer (e.g. digital images supplied by the customer).
- the selection 14 of pre-printed stock can be a template selected by the customer into which the customer's digital image is composited and printed in the open area of a pre-printed stock.
- a great variety of pre-printed stocks are available, for example including different shapes, colors, pre-printed inks, and pre-printed messages.
- the variety of pre-printed stocks is too diverse to be loaded by each stock type into the stock printer trays of a printer or local network of printers.
- Printing and scanning equipment are known in the art, as are controllers, printer trays, mechanisms for picking and feeding stock through a paper path, and controllers with computing and memory resources for receiving customer order information, digital images, and tray stock information.
- the actual media type may be entered by the user or printer operator or preferably according to this embodiment of the invention, the printer will feed the first sheet of the supply to be scanned to produce tray stock information, as described above.
- the printer controller will use the updated tray stock information in matching future print job requirements before printing.
- the user need not enter the media type thus simplifying the media loading process and eliminating possible user error in entering an incorrect media type and/or loading incorrect media in the paper drawer or tray.
- a pre-printed stock can be matched to a specific electronic order, for example the first electronic order in a queue representing the order in which the electronic orders were received.
- the controller will examine each of the pre-printed stocks until a match is found.
- the pre-printed stock is loaded into a printer tray in step 300 .
- the pre-printed stock in a printer tray can include a variety of different stocks. All of the pre-printed stocks to be matched are scanned in step 305 and a match to the first electronic order found in step 310 .
- the pre-printed stock and first electronic order can be printed in step 315 .
